Multi-currency: Shortcodes

WooCommerce Multi-currency is an extension that provides switching currencies and re-calculating rates on-the-fly.

This document describes advanced multi-currency settings. The initial setup and configuration can be found on this page.

Shortcodes in WordPress are code shortcuts that help you add dynamic content in WordPress posts, pages, and sidebar widgets. They are displayed inside square brackets like this:

[myshortcode]

To embed the Currency Switcher in a page or post, you can use the woocommerce-currency-switcher shortcode.

[woocommerce-currency-switcher format="{{code}}: {{name}} ({{symbol}})"]

The placeholders in curly brackets are used to fine-tune the display format. Below you can see the formatting examples:

• Note: “selector” is now replaced with the new one, named “switcher”. Parameters are the same.

To show flags in the switcher, add flag=1 parameter to the shortcode:

[woocommerce-currency-switcher format="{{code}}: {{name}} ({{symbol}})" flag=1]

Note: you may need to add CSS rules to match the switcher with flags to your WordPress theme.

The woomc-convert shortcode can be used to display prices converted to a specific currency. Below you can see some usage examples:

• Note: “selector” is now replaced with the new one, named “switcher”.

• IMPORTANT:
  • Do not change the #woomc-shortcode URL
  • Be very accurate when changing the shortcode in the “Description” field. If you miss a quote or a bracket, the output will be broken.

You can create a hard-coded currency switcher using Custom Links:

Please remember to update the menu items when you add or remove currencies.
